    this has been a heaven sent. it'd be great to have some sped up videos so you can see the whole process in a few minutes, because sometimes you are stuck on just one thing and you dont even know what to google for.

    Thanks - not only a great video on flow but I also love the idea of gathering tips from the business rather than all training coming from a small team. Look forward to your future vids!

    Hi Jon, I'm creating Forms and Flows for my Customer Service Team! I'm currently looking to create an automation process for our team to use for sending a request to mail documents to the clients that we service. I wanted to know how do I use a group form that sends responses to one email address from the reps., but also creating an excel data sheet showing what was requested, the date, and the attached document. We currently use Salesforce Service Cloud which holds our pdf documents for the clients. Let me know what's the easiest way to do this.

  • @Fimpiekijke
    @Fimpiekijke 4 года назад

    Can you again explain why you do not use the initial situation in the 'Reject' option ? If you have multiple users in the Approval send to and the first one rejects it will only send to that single person isn't it?

  • @richardhubbarduk
    @richardhubbarduk 3 года назад

    Great video, just what I am looking for.
    When I tried to replicate it, when I got to 'Get Responses', it does not switch to 'Apply to All'. I have got it working by leaving 'Get Responses' and then a condition if the form has been submitted 'anonymous'. Not a big deal but adds unnecessary steps when compared to Ed's example. Thoughts?
    Also my form will include Choices Questions, but these land in the email/Teams post with additional characters, ie "[General]". Can you point me to where I can extract the choice and leave out the additional characters?

      I think they've changed it since we recorded this video and it looks like you no longer need the loop. You should still follow with "Get Response Details" and then your dynamic form responses should be available.

    HI guys, I love your videos, I love what you are doing with flow. However, I really want to point out that it is a misnomer to continually say this is "no-code". When you are doing things like initializing variables and then looping to concatenate variables in order for you to get value you need, this essentially IS code, but just wrapped up in a pretty graphical block view. My hope for flow was to teach my non-technical administrative staff how to set up flows for basic things; however, in example after example very soon into doing something pretty basic we hit a point where we need to do something like the variable assignment example above. So suddenly we are beyond what we could teach any sort of non-tech admin staff, it is just coding but with a different presentation.

    • @JonJLevesque
      @JonJLevesque  4 года назад

      I definitely try to say "low-code" rather than no code... cause there are places where you will definitely need some workflow thinking and a bit of syntax.

    Hi I am new to Power Automate. My requirement is automation of Waiver memo request approval process. Our company have delegated certain financial powers to senior employees to waive off financical charges on the loan accounts. Based on the waiver amounts matrix, the request is sent to waive off certain charges in the loan and approved by one or more approvers (Multipler approvers). Approval request follows proper hierarchy system.
    a) Junior level raises the request to his manager/s based on the waiver amount using Microsoft forms. Once forms in filled up and submitted, it will flow to First Manger.
    b) First manager will view the request and approve the same by entering the comments. Further it flow to second manager and so on for approval.
    c) Once Final approver approved the memo request, an email will be sent to the requestor and employee kept in forinfo (Separate provision to keep employees in forinfo list - Employees not participating in approval like operation team who will process the waiver amount in companies system are kept in forinfo.
    Currently the waiver request is a manual process and email is sent through outlook. MIS updation of waiver request is manual and time consuming.
    Can this be done through Power Automate and Flow. Please suggest.
